| 0:00.0 | Well, on this particular podcast, I want to talk about Sola Scriptura. |
| 0:28.3 | I mentioned in previous podcasts, a particular article that came out by evangelicals who are ferocious for the faith once for all delivered to the saints and are concerned |
| 0:39.8 | that I left that faith. |
| 0:42.5 | One of the things they write is that Hanagraph has joined a cult. |
| 0:47.7 | That cult not only praise to objects and believes all kinds of superstitious doctrines, |
| 0:52.5 | but they deny the infallible authority and sufficiency of God's word, |
| 0:58.7 | instead believing that the Bible is of equal authority to their perverse traditions. |
| 1:07.7 | Now, that's quite a mouthful. |
| 1:09.6 | We've talked about some of the things mentioned by these |
| 1:13.6 | well-known and very zealous evangelicals. But I want to focus in on this whole notion, which is |
| 1:22.4 | inculcated in the words of Soliscriptura, the Bible alone. I've oftentimes said over the course of my |
| 1:32.3 | ministry that the Bible is the infallible repository of redemptive revelation. I love the Bible. |
| 1:39.9 | I've mined the Bible for all its substantial worth. |

| 1:54.3 | I spend a great amount of time meditating on the Word of God. |
| 2:00.7 | So the mining, the meditating, the memorization of Scripture |
| 2:04.5 | is very, very precious to me. So I hold Scripture in a very, very elevated position in my |
| 2:13.1 | life. There are a lot of people that talk about Scripture, but I don't want to set myself up on a platform, |
| 2:20.3 | but I would dare say there are not a lot of people in the evangelical world that have spent the time memorizing scripture that I have. |
| 2:29.3 | Again, I don't say that to boast. I only say that because I place a tremendous weight. |
| 2:39.3 | I give a tremendous amount of precedence to the Word of God in my personal life. |
